CLASS VISIT TO CAROLINE G. ATKINSON SCHOOL IN FREEPORT, NY.

I was extremely fortunate to have been invited to speak at Caroline G. Atkinson School in Freeport before 50 6th graders who were reading my book. We had a terrific question & answer session where I got some wonderful insight into how my novel is being received by these amazing children. They even gave me some great ideas which I will take with me as I continue to develop the tales of Willow and her friends.

My favorite part was where I got to read them an excerpt from my new novel, that I am currently writing, which is the next chapter of Willow's life. It was very well received (insert sigh of relief). I can honestly say, I have never had more fun in my life. The kids were so respectful and excited. They reminded me why I chose to write a middle-grade series.

Special thanks to their teacher (and my niece), Jillian Onorato. That's her, in the green shirt, on our right. I'm thrilled that I was able to donate these books to students who truly appreciated it.

Just some of my favorite questions that the students asked me:
"What was your favorite part of the book?"
"Who was your favorite character?"
"Which character are you most like?"
"Would you like to see your book become a movie?"
"How do we get the next book?" (I think that was my favorite question.)

In addition to all the verbal "Thanks" I received I was blessed with a lovely piece of art from one of the talented artists in the class as well as written notes from other students telling me how much they enjoyed my book.

It was never my intention to impress these children. I'd much rather inspire and I can only hope that I did that, if even in the slightest way. But if I didn't, the visit was still worth it because in the end, each and every one of them inspired me.
